Optical inline quality inspection

Inspect surface, print and colour with confidence.

DVS develops inspection systems for industrial production lines – from 360° surface inspection and print verification to color inspection in extrusion.

Quality in the running process

See what is really happening in your process.

DVS systems make quality deviations visible before they become a complaint issue: surface defects, print errors and colour deviations are detected, visualised and documented in real time.

Surface

Detect scratches, pits, holes, bubbles, inclusions, grooves and other visible surface deviations.

TXT

Print

Control text, markings, legibility, position, completeness and smudged print images inline.

Colour

Objectively monitor base colour, stripe colour, stripe width, colour changes and foreign colour tones.

Inline in real time

Inspection directly in the running process – without manual sampling as a bottleneck.

React immediately

Fault signals and status information to your line via digital interfaces.

Image-based evidence

Defect images, timestamps and process data create traceable quality documentation.

Surface inspection example

VS-580: precision that integrates.

The VS-580 illustrates the DVS approach clearly: hardware and software are tailored to your application so the product is captured reliably and deviations are documented traceably.

Clear inspection tasks.

Detected in practice

Defects that do not
go unnoticed.

Real examples from inspection: surface defects, print image deviations and colour issues become visible, documentable and usable for process improvement.

From the line to quality evidence

Every defect becomes actionable information.

Capture product

The product passes the sensor head and is recorded optically – matched to the respective inspection task.

Detect deviation

Configurable algorithms evaluate surface, print or colour in the running process.

Locate defect

Image, position and assessment appear immediately in visualisation and documentation.

Improve process

Logs and defect images provide the basis for targeted optimisation.

Downloads

Documents sorted by inspection task.

Flyers, technical backgrounds and dimension drawings are available directly with the matching system – compact for initial alignment and available in English.

SK-2.1

Print inspection

Inline verification of print, legibility, completeness and print quality.

SK-410-C

Color inspection

Control of base colour, stripe colour, stripe width and foreign colour tones.

DVS Print Inspection SK-2.1
Another DVS solution

Verify print with equal confidence.

The Print Inspection SK-2.1 detects smudged, incomplete or missing markings inline – at speeds up to 1,600 m/min.

Another DVS solution

Keep colour stable all around.

The SK-410-C checks base colour, stripe colour and stripe width at up to 2,000 m/min – including colour trend and foreign colour tone detection.

Frequently searched

Inline quality inspection for extrusion, cables and pipes.

DVS offers three specialised inspection systems instead of one compromise all-rounder: surface inspection and surface control with the VS-580, print inspection and print verification with the Print Inspection SK-2.1, and color inspection and color control with the SK-410-C – each inline, documented and designed for industrial lines.

What is surface inspection?

Surface inspection is the automatic optical inspection of product surfaces for defects such as scratches, pits, cracks, bubbles or discolouration – directly in the production line.

What does print inspection check?

It detects missing, smudged or illegible prints and markings. In practice, the same task is also referred to as print verification or print image inspection.

What is color control for cables?

Color control or color inspection objectively checks base colour, stripe colour, stripe width and colour deviations during extrusion.

Which products are inspected?

Typical applications include cables, wires, plastic pipes, hoses, metal tubes, profiles, round bar and other continuous products.
